Huge "Alien Megastructures" Built by a Supercivilisation Could be Orbiting 64 Nearby Stars, Expert Claims

Last year,
astronomers reported sightings of an 'alien megastructure' orbiting a distant
star. Now, a scientist has suggested that spotting these megastructures could
be relatively easy – as long as experts focus on the right places. He says that
astronomers should turn their attention to 64 pulsar stars near our planet,
which he believes offer the best chance of hosting an alien megastructure.

In 2015,
astronomers spotted a star, known as Tabby's Star that could be seen
mysteriously brightening and dimming. Several theories were suggested for this
behaviour, with one expert suggesting that this 'winking' may have been caused
by the rotation of an alien megastructure, called a Dyson's Sphere.

Now an astronomer
from the Free University of Tbilisi, Georgia, is backing up this claim, and
even says that the structures should be easy to spot with current technology. In
a paper published last year, Professor Zaza Osmanov said the alien
megastructures are more likely to be shaped like thin discs rather than
'spherical shells.'

If his theory is
correct, this would allow a Dyson's Sphere to exist in a star's habitable zone
and in his new paper, Professor Osmanov argues that if the Dyson's Sphere does
exist in a habitable zone, it should be easy to spot using infrared telescopes.

Professor Osmanov
is urging astronomers to focus their search on 64 pulsar stars. In his paper,
published on arXiv,
Professor Osmanov said:

'We have argued
that by monitoring the nearby zone of the solar system approximately 64 pulsars
are expected to be located inside it.'

But Professor
Osmanov has warned that should we find the alien megastructure, it could be
extremely powerful.

He said:

“Rapidly rotating
pulsars are very powerful and harvesting their energy would be quite
profitable, but a habitable zone would be much farther and mass of a material
required for constructing the mega-ring would exceed the total mass of all
planets, asteroids, comets, centaurs and interplanetary dust in a typical
planetary system by several orders of magnitude.”

This suggests that
an alien civilisation living on a megastructure could be strong enough to wipe
out humanity.

Make up your minds...sometimes yes there is aliens then other time there is no aliens...then there is parallel universe ...maybe the aliens are us searching for aliens but from another parallel universe
